Is it true that they now take fingerprints and a retinal scanner at airports? How can you avoid it, for example, if you come from Israel or other countries by plane or bus / ferry?

True, only not the retina, but the fingerprints of both hands and a photo of the face. We were in Sharm in the first half of October, filmed both on arrival and departure. The queues are wild, the airport is packed, they stood for more than an hour.

This cannot be avoided. What difference does it make, from which country, everyone is standing in the same queue.

Greetings
In Sharm El Sheikh, indeed, they take fingerprints and take a photo of the face. Both for arrival and departure.
Airplanes do not fly here from Israel, but even if they did, this would not affect the need for fingerprinting in any way - passport control is the same for everyone, everyone goes through it the same way (regardless of the way they enter Egypt).
You can enter and leave Egypt without going through this procedure - through the land border with Israel or after the ferry from Jordan. Here, the customs is simply not yet properly equipped.

Remove and prints and photograph the retina. What bothers you? Are you in the Interpol database?)

ser_____Witness77 you are mistaken. when entering the country, they take pictures of the retina and scan fingerprints. Only fingerprints are allowed to leave.

At the entrance, no biometric data was taken at all, at the exit, a photo of my face (without a retina) and fingers.
"Everyone is standing in line."
I didn’t have to stand in line, I just said that I was on a regular flight, and not with these package bags, they skipped the line.

lana_181, they take pictures of the face both upon arrival and departure. An ordinary camera on a tripod is not a retinal scanner.

ollennka, who did you just tell? We also flew in and out regularly, everyone stood in the same queue. There was a much shorter queue at check out.

I told the uncles at the control))). And at the entrance to the airport, because they even managed to arrange a queue at the entrance.
Charters are brought to the airport three hours before departure, so they can stand up to blue in the face, and my flight took off in an hour.

We definitely didn’t take pictures when we arrived, there was no equipment at all. But I flew to Cairo, maybe that's the point

ollennka, well, it turns out that you flew from Cairo to Sharm on a domestic flight, not an international one, so you were not fokal and fingerprinted.

I returned from Hurghada a week ago, no one took any fingerprints, what kind of nonsense? They passed the inspection much faster than last year in Sharm and they don’t cheat so much.

What is amazing about this procedure? In the same way, we apply for a biometric passport. You can't legally escape.

Cool. Do they still require tests, fluorography and a visit to a proctologist? I'm kidding, of course, but I think it's overkill.

In short, apparently, this procedure applies only to Sharm el-Sheikh airport, since there is no such thing in Hurghada and Cairo.

So, dear author of the question, if testing is unpleasant for you, choose other points of entry into the country.

In Hurghada, this procedure is not yet available, in Sharm, fingerprints are taken at the airport.
Sharm is located on the Sinai Peninsula - a "disputed territory" where there is a risk of terrorist attacks, so security measures have been strengthened for many years.

Fancase, security measures have been tightened for many years where, at the airport of Sharm??? Very funny. True laughter through tears. Even after the plane crashed, airport workers continued to let several people into the office in a crowd of one card each. And some surveillance cameras were not even connected, hung for beauty.

In Egypt, all security measures are window dressing. Liquids were taken away, but not all, my unfortunate nail clippers, which are usually confiscated from hand luggage, were driven all over the country.

I will support LindaLinda if it weren’t for the tragedy with the Russian plane in 2015 and after that the Russian side’s ban on charters to Egyptian resorts, then this would have continued

zolyshka111 what you call bust has long been in the UAE. Back in 14, they photographed the retina there, and it is individual, they did not take fingerprints. But in general, all data about you is already stored in a biometric passport, and in any foreign passport, and not only in a foreign one.

lana_181, Well, there is and there is, in Papua New Guinea there are still tribes of cannibals, and in the Mariana Trench live wonderful miracles and marvelous divas, and so what? The presence of a lot of things in the world does not change my opinion that all these manipulations at the airport of Sharma are too much))))
